Stuck in the 80's

Seconds after my youngest baseball game ended the sky grew pitch black with heavy rain clouds. We raced the rain to the car. When we arrived home the power was out due to the storm. The whole street was out giving the country side a very eerie touch. I proceeded to light the candles and place them around the house.
"Mom, can we play the Wii?" Jacob asked
"No sweetheart we do not have any power right now. Let's play a board game!"
"That's lame, Can we watch tv?!"
"Noooo, we have no power"
"Can you turn on the lights and charge my DS?"
"WE HAVE NO POWER! Which means no tv, no lights, no cooking..."
"Ah Mannn, it's like we're stuck in the 80's!!!"
I smiled real big then bent down to give him a hug.
"I love you" I said.
